Best... compact
£50, Cabin Max at Next
If you’re looking to avoid hefty luggage costs, this neat wheelie case slides under the seat, complying with some airline (including easyJet) restrictions. The hardshell makes it more durable than material designs and there’s still plenty of room for the basics, with clever pockets and dividers inside to keep them in order.
Best... bargain buy
£16, Primark
Primark has really pulled it out of the bag (sorry!) with this fresh design. In a green hue with on-trend quilted detail, it’s lightweight and versatile enough to be used as a gym bag or an overnight bag. There are heaps of practical elements, from the drawstring pockets to the secure zip fastenings, to ensure your belongings stay safe.
Best for... style
£55, Oliver Bonas
You can always rely on Oliver Bonas to deliver punchy prints, and this zebra print holdall is as timeless as it is cool. A textured finish adds interest alongside the colourful tassel embellishments, and it doesn’t compromise on function, with a crossbody strap, two grab handles and handy pockets.
